The villagers of the Fenjin Brigade were fine. They all took refuge in the ancestral hall. Zuo Zixuan even used the herbs stored in the hall to cook a cold-relieving soup for everyone.

The other teams were not so lucky and were cold and hungry.

The troops were still worried after receiving the relief supplies. There were not many things, but there were many villagers on Guangze Island.

Moreover, the weather was so bad that the troops did not dare to fly a second time.

The supplies sent from Zedu, plus those from the garrison troops on Guangze Island, and those recovered from Xishan last time, can only last for a week at most.

Even if the flood recedes within a week, what about the post-disaster reconstruction and refugee resettlement work?

This typhoon not only destroyed all the food that was about to be harvested, but also directly looted the homes of the villagers living near the sea on the island.

He's father and several senior officers in the army were very worried. Not only they were worried, but also the General Office of Zedu Province and the General Office of Zedu City.

Mayor Qiao lost most of his hair, which was not much to begin with, due to worry.

The troops braved the rain to deliver supplies to various hilltops, and sent all the military doctors and medical supplies they found. Even so, the amount of medicine was just a drop in the bucket and could not do much.

There is no medicine to cure this illness, so one can only endure it. Even if there is food, one cannot eat it. Commander Liu is very worried about this.

"Old He, how much medicine does your daughter-in-law have? Can you give some to other teams?

You can see the current situation. If the medicines are not available, the villagers may not be able to survive."

Father He was in a dilemma. Although he knew that there were medicines in Zuo Zixuan's space, how could he ask her to take them out? And she had to prepare them and take them out.

Seeing that Mr. He looked troubled, Commander Liu knew that he could not make the decision for Zuo Zixuan.

"Old He, how about you tell Xuan Xuan how much of her medicine she used, and when the disaster is over, we can give her financial compensation, okay?"

"Lao Liu, this is not a matter of money, I..."

"Commander, division commander, the Endeavor Brigade has organized young men to deliver medicine to various rescue sites."

Before Mr. He finished speaking, a young soldier ran in from outside the door and reported.

"Huh? Where did they get the medicine?" Commander Liu looked confused.

"Comrade Zuo Zixuan, the daughter-in-law of Commander He, prepared the medicine for their ancestral hall and asked the village chief to organize people to deliver it."

Commander Liu turned to look at Father He and said jokingly:

"Xuan Xuan is a good child who cares about her country and her family.

Look, you don’t even need to ask for anything, they just do it themselves.”

He's father also felt comforted. Zuo Zixuan was a little greedy, but when the country needed her, she would never be stingy or back down.

The He family must have been blessed to have such a good daughter-in-law.

What Mr. He didn't know was that it wasn't just Zuo Zixuan from the Fenjin Brigade who provided the herbal medicine and distributed it to various relief points. Many injured people were also sent to the Fenjin Brigade's ancestral hall for treatment.

Thanks to Zuo Zixuan's rescue, the villagers of the Fenjin Brigade had almost no major problems.

Except for the elderly in their seventies and eighties and children under ten years old, everyone was helping to take care of the patients, or the young and middle-aged followed the People's Liberation Army to go out and rescue people.

The performance of the Endeavor Team during this disaster was witnessed by all on the island.

The heavy rain stopped after three days, the sea water began to recede slowly, and all the houses at the foot of the mountain became visible.

On the fifth day, villagers from various brigades returned home one after another.

Just as initially speculated, the homes of the villagers living by the sea were completely looted by the typhoon, leaving only ruined courtyards with nothing left in their homes.

The He family's house was also flooded, but only the legs of the bed were submerged, and some items on the ground were washed all over the place.

Before leaving, Aunt Zhang placed the rabbits and sika deer at home on the second floor of the attic in the backyard, gave them a lot of hay, and then locked them up.

When they returned, those guys were still alive and well.

On the sixth day, He Yi took a leave and went back home.

When Zuo Zixuan saw him covered in mud like a monkey, she realized that he had also come to participate in the rescue work.

This time He Yi did not persuade Zuo Zixuan to return to Zedu. He just went home to take a look and saw that everything was fine at home, so he said hello to his elders.

He hugged Zuo Zixuan, said, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife!" and hurried back to the army to gather.

The reason why he did not persuade Zuo Zixuan to return to Zedu this time was because he knew that Guangze Island needed people for post-disaster reconstruction.

Although Zuo Zixuan cannot help the villagers build their homes, she can save the dying and heal the wounded.

In this typhoon disaster, two-thirds of the villagers injured on the island were seriously injured and were sent to Zuo Zixuan for treatment.

The People's Liberation Army paddled kayaks day and night to search and rescue, but still dozens of villagers had not been found.

It is estimated that the situation is very dangerous and some epidemics will definitely occur afterwards.

The villagers on the island needed Zuo Zixuan, so he couldn't call her away at this time.

The sea water dropped to a safe level and passenger ships in Guangze Island and Zedu finally resumed operations.

However, the government still prohibits people from taking boats, and both passenger ships are used to transport post-disaster relief supplies.

Under the arrangement of Mayor Qiao, Qiao Xinghua and Ning Rong followed the passenger ship carrying supplies to Guangze Island.

After arriving on the island, Qiao Xinghua found He Chu and actively participated in the post-disaster reconstruction work on the island.

When Ning Rong returned to the He family, he immediately followed Zuo Zixuan to help treat the patients.

The military hospital on the island was in disarray, and there was no time to clean up. Before the military doctors could even catch their breath, they were assigned by the director to various brigades to guide disinfection and treatment work.

But many villagers, even if their own teams had military doctors, would still ride ox carts for ten miles to come to the He family for medical treatment.

The director did not arrange for a military doctor to go to the Endeavor Brigade because Zuo Zixuan and Ning Rong were there. If he arranged for a military doctor to go there, he would probably only be able to do odd jobs. It would be better to assign people to places where they are needed.

He just sent a large amount of medicine to the He family and didn't care about anything else.

The medicine was delivered on the first day, and the village chief drove a ox cart with a large cart of empty bottles back to the hospital on the second day, and also returned some of the medicine.

Zuo Zixuan also asked the village chief to bring a letter to the dean. There was no extra content in the letter, just a list of medicines she needed.

The dean knew that two-thirds of the patients on the island went to the He family for treatment, so no matter what medicine Zuo Zixuan needed, the dean tried his best to satisfy her.

But the dean also brought a letter to Zuo Zixuan, saying that medical treatment and medicines would be free for half a month during post-disaster reconstruction, but would be charged after that, and asked her to explain it clearly to the villagers.

Zuo Zixuan also conveyed this matter to the villagers. The villagers who came to see the doctor had no objection to this and were very cooperative.

Even though they had been notified in advance, other medical centers were still in turmoil half a month later.

The villagers complained about the military hospital charging for medical treatment, but the military doctors refused to listen no matter how they explained.

But they would rather run more than ten kilometers to the He family to spend money on medical treatment.

Half a month later, unless it was an emergency, Zuo Zixuan would use Western medicine for treatment. For common illnesses, she would still use herbal medicine.

The dean gave her a list of drug quotations. She looked at it and found that three consecutive days of injections for a fever and cold would cost at least fifty or sixty cents.

For many villagers on the island, this burden was still a bit heavy, so after half a month, she still mostly used herbal medicine and acupuncture for treatment.

The post-disaster reconstruction work on Guangze Island had not yet been completed, but the wedding of the two couples from the He family had already arrived.

Zuo Zixuan did not attend the wedding because she had too many patients at home and could not attend. He Yi was on a mission and could not attend either.

He Yi's eldest sister He Zhou and her husband have returned.

The two couples from the He family also went back to change their clothes at the post-disaster reconstruction site and went directly to the wedding banquet.

When He Zhou saw that Zuo Zixuan did not come to attend his brother and sister's wedding banquet, he became unhappy at the banquet.

"The second son has spoiled Zuo Zixuan to the point of being lawless. There is such a big wedding at home, but she doesn't even come to help greet the guests?

Do you really think the second brother won’t divorce her?

When the second son comes back, I will have a good chat with him about his wife.

It’s better to divorce this kind of person as soon as possible, so as not to delay the second half of his life.”

When the He family, the Ning family, and the Qiao family heard what He Zhou said, their faces suddenly turned dark.

Ning Rong couldn't bear to hear anyone say bad things about Zuo Zixuan. In her mind, Zuo Zixuan was as good as the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saved people from suffering.

Before she could even start to fire, Grandma He said with an unhappy look on her face: "He Zhou, did you not rinse your mouth when you got up this morning? Your mouth stinks so bad?"

He Zhou looked at his grandmother with a confused face. Among all the girls in the family, Grandma He loved He Zhou the most.

He Zhou is the first child among the He family's grandchildren, so the whole family dotes on him very much.

He Zhou's husband Bai Zongde saw that everyone looked unhappy, so he quickly pulled He Zhou.

"I see that you have learned a lot since you married in Kyoto in the past few years, but you have learned the airs of those wives of officials in Kyoto very well.

What? Just because someone marries into our family, she has to come and greet guests?

You are our own family, why don't I see you greeting any guests?"

Grandma He angrily retorted to He Zhou.

"Grandma, what did I say wrong?

It's such a big happy event at home, even if Zuo Zixuan has something else going on, shouldn't she put it aside and come to the banquet?"

Grandma He rolled her eyes at He Zhou and said, "What could be more important than a life?"

Before He Zhou could ask anything, He Chu started to advise:

"Sister, please stop talking.

Xuanxuan didn't mean to miss the wedding banquet. There were dozens or even hundreds of villagers in her family who fell ill after the disaster and were lining up to see her, some of them were seriously ill.

If she leaves, what will happen to the sick villagers?"

He Zhou snorted coldly, "What kind of illness can she, a poor capitalist's daughter, treat? Don't kill the patient or he will come back to us..."

"He Zhou...

After the banquet, let’s take the last train back to Kyoto with Sotoku.

You are already married, so if there is nothing else to do, don't come back.

If you have any problems, you don’t have to come back. Just call your dad and the waiter and tell them.

We, the He family, will definitely help if we can."

Grandpa He, who was sitting at the gate of the state-owned restaurant welcoming guests, said in a cold voice.

When He Zhou heard what Grandpa He said, his eyes immediately turned red. Doesn't Grandpa He mean that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and she is already an outsider?
